As Edge Computing Gains Traction, The Business Case for SASE is Stronger Than Ever
The implementation of hybrid and multicloud configurations is growing as businesses rely on technology to build customer relationships, automate and streamline business processes, and increase revenue. The adoption of edge computing in hybrid cloud configurations is also a recent trend that makes traditional networking involving backhauling traffic to a centralized location inefficient. Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) technology eliminates many of these challenges while Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) adds the cloud-delivered protection needed to securely connect distributed users. In this white paper, analyst firm Frost and Sullivan explores the business case for SASE and how VMware SASE delivers it with cloud-centric networking and security. Download the white paper to build your understanding of the trends driving hybrid and multicloud deployments and the advantages of securing and connecting them with VMware SASE.
